Reconciliation Across Social Classes (Overview presented at CCDA)

Andrew Sears

What is social class and class identity and how does it add an additional layer to our call into the work of reconciliation? What is classism and how does it affect our communities and the Christian Church? Has classism caused urban White poverty to be overlooked?  This presentation discusses these questions from personal stories and experience as well as research from the field.
